Lesson 3265

THE NEW JERUSALEM #10

The New Jerusalem as the Bride of Christ

New Jerusalem is called “the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” (Rev.21:9-10).

In this symbolic description, the Lamb refers to Jesus Christ. (John 1:29; Rev.5:12) “The Lamb’s wife,” Christ’s bride, represents Christians who will be united with Jesus in heaven. The Bible likens the relationship between Jesus and these Christians to that of a husband and wife. (2 Cor. 11:2; Eph.5 :23-25).

Abba Father, Christian marriages on earth are meant for only one lifetime while the relationship with our Risen Savior in the New Jerusalem will be an everlasting union. This understanding is important as it gives a human dimension to our otherwise limited understanding of what Heaven is really like.
